If you love a salad with a little kick, Arugula Astro is your go-to green. This fast-growing variety is known for its tender, peppery leaves that add a gourmet touch to everyday meals. Unlike some wild arugulas that can be too sharp, Astro strikes the perfect balance—zesty enough to stand out, but mild enough to enjoy every day.

Astro is one of the quickest greens you can grow. In just 3–4 weeks, you can start harvesting baby leaves, making it perfect for impatient gardeners or anyone who craves fresh greens on the table as soon as possible. If you sow seeds every two weeks, you’ll enjoy a continuous harvest all season long.

This arugula thrives in cooler weather, so it’s best planted in early spring or fall. The plants are compact, usually reaching 8–12 inches tall, which makes them an excellent choice for raised beds, container gardens, or filling in gaps around other vegetables. Astro can tolerate light frosts, giving you extra flexibility in the shoulder seasons.

In the kitchen, Astro’s versatility really shines. Toss the young leaves into salads, layer them on sandwiches, or use them as a pizza topping. Mature leaves bring a bold kick to pestos and sautés. Once you experience the fresh, peppery crunch of homegrown arugula, store-bought greens won’t compare.

Easy, fast, and flavorful—Arugula Astro is a must-have for gardeners of all levels.
